this is tricky because korea used to have a different way to count a person's age: the day you are born, you're considered to be 1yr old. and every new year in jan1, you add another year.
for ex. if you were born Dec 31, 2023, by Jan 1, 2024 you're already considered 2yrs old even though youre barely a day old (￣▽￣)
so, Sukjoo could be 17-18 in international age, and Ijin 18-19, which falls in the typical high school senior age bracket☆
btw the korean age system was scrapped last year (2023), but given this manhwa dates back to 2020(?) im assuming they're still using it when counting ages of characters
If I'm not wrong (which I could very well be) I think they mentioned in the beginning of the series the reason why he's still in HS. I think they justified it through "an accident" and is why he has to "repeat" a grade since he never actually went to HS. I'm to lazy to look right now lol
anyone know if it’s normal to be over 18 and still in highschool in south korea? just curious. i know sukjoo is 19 but he and yuna were overseas for sometime so it’s possible they decided to retake a year.
ijin just turned 20 and ik his class is the graduating class but none of his friends have mentioned his age. is it because he looks young so no one suspects anything? or is age not noticeable for koreans?
